Horst wrote:Whats you guys' kill/death ratio in beta?
I'm at 1.94 so far, 379/195.
Thats with every mech, which brings it down. I don't normally get many kills in my missile catapult or scout mechs, though in my K2 its rare I don't get at least 3.
I rarely if ever get any kills. I'll take PPC potshots, then get into a 1v1 match with a an enemy mech. From here it goes one of two ways.
1. His friend shows up and alpha strikes me to hell in the back
2. My friend show up, and throws a small lazer that does just enough damage to kill him.
So annoying.

Matchmaking needs work.. 5-6x Atlas vs 4 Jenners and heaviest mech is 2x Catas. For example.
They have said, a few times, that the current matchmaking system was basically just thrown together so people could play games. Nowhere close to the final product.

Nice bug in matchmaking
We let him have a trial of position. Didn't even make warrior.
That seems very sporting of you... kind of a worst case scenario for the poor guy though
It was pretty awesome. One of my teammates riding in an atlas decided to try to interfere. blew him away with a couple of salvos to the rear shoulder to blow his engine. Gave me a good reason to team kill
So falling on top of other mechs does damage? Had a friendly catapult not pay attention and ram my Commando before and I think I got crushed. I know it landed on me and I exploded.

This is correct.
2 of us were taking tunnel on the Ice planet.
Ran into an Awsome 2v1 and we knocked his armor off front torso.. and rear while he was running away.
Out the door we couldnt see him so guy im with in an Atlas goes left to drop down the hill to check there and i went straight to find him.
I hear on Vent.. Holy crap i just killed him when i fell off the edge.
I took it on as a tactic for my Commando. Runs at 140 km/h and tackles other lightish mechs so they can be shot at. Armour was bulked up a bit first though.
Still debating this lol Is the Founder package worth it?

I'd say that depends on how much cash you have on hand to throw away for silly computer games.
Personally, I didn't regret it - I already knew I'd have a blast at the battles, and felt like supporting the company as they seem like really cool people on the forums.
With the $120 Legendary Pack, you don't actually "save money" if that's what you mean; the recognition is more like a thankyou gift for your faith in them.
The $30 and $60 Elite and Veteran Packs, on the other hand, will actually give you a bonus to your credit in their shop system, so if you intend to use that, you may actually save money here.
Supposedly, the full release isn't far away though, and it's actually rather cool to see the game grow. Last couple patches added new mechs and new maps. Kind of makes you wonder what you may get next week!
I want my jagermech... Although I did shoe-horn a gause into my founders hunchback last night which was fun... only went through one match with it though so too early to tell but 20 shots for 2 tonnes of ammo dosen't sound like a lot to me.. I'm thinking of putting an xl engine in there and beefing up the armour and if there's any weight left over a couple of heat sinks and maybe turn those med lasers into large or at least replace the med laser i had to remove already....
I sort of want to join the Dakka group. Just played a random as a Commando I held up 6 members of the enemy team. We still lost to a Jenner capping our base and I have no idea what the other 7 on my team were doing... but just no more...
Mentioned wanting to join a while back, but my name wasn't put on the list.

I also think I randomly ended up in Horst's team yesterday if he uses the same name there as here. I was some K2 named Iustis. He only came out on top of the game.
